Gin doesn't want to work hard

He handed the computer to Vermouth and took two steps back.

He ran and used the momentum to climb onto the top of the container.

Once he had regained his footing, Calvados looked around.

The first thing he noticed was Conan, who was running.

Calvados frowned slightly, clearly not understanding why a child would be there.

But he still spoke.

"I saw a child."

A child?

Vermouth's pupils constricted slightly.

The image of Conan flashed through her mind.

“What does that child look like?” Vermouth pressed.

"Short black hair, wearing a blue suit and glasses."

"Should we kill him?"

Calvados replied, having already raised his gun without him noticing.

Seeing this, Shuichi Akai, who was not far away, slightly curled his fingers.

Having confirmed that the child was Conan, Vermouth rejected Calvados's offer.

"No!"

"Is there anyone else around?"

A hint of regret flashed in Calvados's eyes.

Although Vermouth said there was no need to kill, he did not put away his gun.

Judging from the direction the child was heading, there was a high chance he would bump into them.

When that time comes, those who deserve to be killed will still have to be killed.

As for the others around them...

Calvados turned his head to look elsewhere.

His gaze sharpened as he swept his eyes over the spot where Shuichi Akai was.

That's... an ambush?!

Calvados's expression changed, and he immediately turned his gun around.

Seeing that he had been discovered, Shuichi Akai no longer hesitated and pulled the trigger.

Chapter 233 Standoff...

The two fired their guns one after the other, but it was clear that Shuichi Akai was more skilled.

A strong sense of crisis suddenly welled up in my heart.

Without much time to think, Calvados jumped off the container without hesitation.

Nevertheless, the bullet grazed his body, sending up a cloud of blood.

Calvados gritted his teeth and scoffed, then rolled over the moment he landed to dissipate the force.

He quickly got up and turned into the other side, hugging the container.

Vermouth reacted similarly to him.

She had crouched down and run here the moment she heard the gunshot.

Based on what we just saw, this position is a blind spot for shooting.

Exposing your view is unwise when the enemy has a sniper.

Both Vermouth and her companion tried to stay as close to the container as possible to conceal their figures.

But this is not a long-term solution.

The other party is not a rigid machine; it can also move.

You never know when a bullet might come from another direction.

Therefore, the crisis is not yet over.

Vermouth's expression was somewhat serious.

The other party set a trap to lure them here, which clearly shows they knew something about them.

Who could it be? Which faction?

It's also related to Conan...

Or rather, it's something Conan can access...

FBI?

"Ah……"

Vermouth gave a mocking laugh.

I thought it was just a small test from the cool guy.

Unexpectedly, the FBI got involved, and things ended up like this.

I don't know when the FBI made contact with Conan.

When did they reach a consensus?

It seems a lot has happened during her time away from Tokyo.

Vermouth narrowed her eyes and asked.

"Did you see who it was? Calvados?"

Calvados nodded and said, "It's Lai."

Lei?

Ah, it's Shuichi Akai.

Vermouth was not surprised by this answer.

He's an FBI agent, and he's also a skilled sniper—it can only be that guy.

It's a pity Gin isn't here.

Otherwise, Vermouth would be quite looking forward to Gin's reaction to seeing Shuichi Akai.

Now that she knew who the enemy was, Vermouth decided not to wait any longer.

"Go and distract Shuichi Akai," Vermouth said coldly.

Calvados hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, but finally nodded in agreement.

"I'll deal with the others."

"Bourbon is also nearby; you can keep an eye out for him."

After Vermouth finished speaking, she gestured for Calvados to leave.

"I understand."

Calvados took a deep breath and then quickly headed in one direction.

The moment he exposed himself, several bullets flew toward him.

Calvados had anticipated this and twisted his body to dodge it.

He moved quickly, and in no time, he was far away from where Vermouth was.

Vermouth narrowed her eyes as she listened to the fading footsteps.

Remembering the direction Calvados had looked when he mentioned Conan, she walked towards it.

……

Shuichi Akai aimed at Calvados, who was moving rapidly below, and pulled the trigger repeatedly.

Calvados, also a sniper, used the containers to run around the blind spots of the snipers, and for a time he really managed to hold off Shuichi Akai.

Shuichi Akai was not in a hurry. Through the previous probing, he had already figured out Calvados's movement.

The next strike will definitely render him incapable of taking action!

Shuichi Akai smirked and moved the muzzle of his gun, aiming it at Calvados's ankle.

Just as he was about to pull the trigger, Kurosawa's slightly anxious voice came through the earpiece.

"Mr. Akai, be careful!"

At the same time, a gunshot rang out from his side and behind.

Shuichi Akai paused, then rolled to the side.

The bullet landed where he had just been standing, sending sparks flying.

Shuichi Akai turned his head and saw Tooru Amuro holding a gun.

"Aka, well, show, one!"

Amuro Tooru called out his name slowly and deliberately, his expression grim, making no attempt to hide his hostility.

"Bourbon."

"We are not enemies."

Akai Shuichi said calmly.

"Shut up!"

Amuro Tooru snapped, clearly not wanting to hear what Akai Shuichi had to say.

This time, I won't let you get away!
